(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror(s) whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. (b) The Evaluation factors are listed in order of importance and all factors other than price when combined are more important than price. The overall evaluation criteria of the Contractors' proposals are provided below. (c) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (d) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: FACTOR 1 - Compliance/ Capacity, Previous Experience and Past Performance Instructions to offeror: Include a statement demonstrating the ability to comply with the terms and conditions of the contract and capacity to meet the delivery schedule and delivery to the multiple sites. Additionally, describe, and support with examples, the quality and timeliness of performance under previous contracts. Include a minimum of 2 references with the following information: (a) Company/Government Name, (b) complete address, (c) point of contact, (d) telephone/fax number, (e) contract number, (f) contract type, (g) contract amount at award, (h) contract amount at completion, (i) brief description of work provided. Evaluation Criteria: Offerors will be evaluated on the ability to comply with the terms and conditions of the contract and the ability to meet schedules and deadlines relative to production quantity. FACTOR 2 - Price Instructions to Offeror: Offeror should complete prices in the table on page 1. Evaluation Criteria - To evaluate offers for award purposes, the Government will apply the offeror's proposed fixed-prices to the quantities included in the solicitation. These prices will be evaluated to determine reasonableness of the price. A comparison of the proposed prices, government estimate, and/or market values will be used. Offerors are put on notice that any proposals that are unrealistic in terms of technical commitment or unrealistically low in price will be deemed reflective of an inherent lack of technical competence or indicative of failure to comprehend the complexity of contract requirements and may be grounds for rejection of the proposal.

The clause at 52.212-5, Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders - Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition, and the following FAR clauses cited in that clause are applicable to this acquisition: 52.203-6; 52.203-13; 52.219-6, 52.219-8; 52.219-14; 52.219-28; 52.222-3; 52.222-19; 52.222-21; 52.222-26; 52.222-35; 52.222-36; 52.222-37; 52.222-39; 52-222-54; 52.225-13; 52.232-33.
